There's nothing that can beat the feeling of doing a movie or a TV show that makes everyone feel good.

There's nothing that can beat the feeling of doing a movie or a TV show that makes everyone feel good.

I don't know if I was a desirable person, not just physically but emotionally and mentally and intellectually. I still have a long way go and a lot to learn, but I'm on my way, I don't think I'm terribly attractive, but I'm comfortable with my looks.

I suppose I learned organization from Altman.

We live from day to day and get as much joy out of experiencing as we can.

I was traveling in Europe with Paul and suddenly realized my passport still said I was Mrs. Sampson.

For a while we lived in a tent we'd pitched inside his parents' house and we slept on pillows.

I'm not afraid of aging.

Bernard and I intend doing a lot with our lives and that includes actively helping other people. But how can we tell you our plans when we haven't finished making them yet?

I felt little awkward about taking one boyfriend to see a film starring another boyfriend.

Making it big in this world is such a rip-off, you gotta keep your head together or it can be totally without meaning.

Pigs are not that dirty. And they're smart, strange little creatures. They just need love.

But most of what I've learned about acting - and a lot of what I've learned about life in the past seven years - was taught to me by Robert Altman.

And of course, now that Bernard and I have found each other forever, we're determined to create our own little world in order to survive the one we're in.

The world doesn't end just because one thing goes wrong.

I'm one of those people who thinks you can have a happy life and still be an artist.

But I never let a fantasy get away, because I always stop to analyze it.

Anyway, I went out and bought thousands of dollars worth of mature clothes so I'd look like a person to be taken seriously, instead of a pretty little twit.

Two months later at a party, Bernard pulled me into a closet and proposed. I said yes.

Somewhere along the line, Bob said I'd better begin taking this business seriously, because, whether I liked it or not, I had a career.

No matter what it is, pick yourself up and go on to the next project.

When I'd finished, everybody said they wanted me for this movie. At first I thought they meant a nudie flick since an awful lot of nudies are made in Houston.

Having been an actress before becoming a producer has helped, because I realize the needs.

You think he's going to like you better, but then one day you look in the mirror and realize you've changed yourself - physically and emotionally - into a woman who's totally different from the one he was attracted to the first place.

I like to pick my own vegetables.

In Houston everyone owns guns and uses 'em - sometimes just for the hell of it.

Take events in your life seriously, take work seriously, but don't take yourself seriously, or you'll become affected, pompous and boring.

In school the kids thought I was freaky because I made straight A's and daydreamed a lot.

You don't direct ostriches, you herd them.

Acting in films hasn't changed me. I feel exactly the same.

Pigs are smart little creatures. They just need love.

Without feeling abashed by my ignorance, I confess that I am absolutely unable to say. In the absence of an appearance of learning, my answer has at least one merit, that of perfect sincerity.

Words are the children of reason and, therefore, can't explain it. They really can't translate feeling because they're not part of it. That's why it bugs me when people try to analyze jazz as an intellectual theorem. It's not. It's feeling.

The best compliment to a child or a friend is the feeling you give him that he has been set free to make his own inquiries, to come to conclusions that are right for him, whether or not they coincide with your own.

The feeling remains that God is on the journey, too.

I've always wanted to sing, just as I've always known that one day I would have my own niche in the annals of song. It was a feeling I had.

The methods of peace propaganda which aim at establishing peace doctrine by argument and by creating a feeling favorable to peace in general seem to fall short of reaching the springs of human action and of dealing with the causes of the conduct which they seek to modify.

I love making people laugh. It's an addiction and it's probably dysfunctional, but I am addicted to it and there's no greater pleasure for me than sitting in a theater and feeling a lot of people losing control of themselves.

Then came the choreography... the impact of music and choreography tends to really emphasize an overall feeling of what you really want out of the program.

On that road of the informer, it is always night. I cannot ever inform against anyone without feeling something die within me. I inform without pleasure, because it is necessary.

I was as big as I have ever been. I had a personal trainer and was working out. I was feeling good. I was muscular. I had never weighed more than 155 pounds.

Lately, I can't shake the feeling that I've been living a dream for the last 10 years or so; I can't account for most of my 20s, and I have to continually remind myself that certain people are dead now and many of my friends have children.

The key to the mystery of a great artist is that for reasons unknown, he will give away his energies and his life just to make sure that one note follows another... and leaves us with the feeling that something is right in the world.

Collectively, we must do more than simply watch, with resignation and a feeling of powerlessness, reports on the evening news about the latest terrorist atrocity.

But even if I'm left high and dry at the end of this wild journey, just taking it is a great feeling.

For me concrete poetry was a particular way of using language which came out of a particular feeling, and I don't have control over whether this feeling is in me or not.

They must have a feeling of do or die. It is such an overcrowded profession.

You know that day after day of, Oh God what am I going to do with myself feeling? The fear of the emptiness that it implies keeps me going.
